Chapter 200 The art of the Uchiha is not only to crush bones, but also to scatter ashes!
"Bang!"
In a corner of the barrier, a heavy, muffled sound echoed within the closed library.
Uchiha Tokumitsu ended his smooth and effortless close-range taijutsu suppression, and with his last kick, he mercilessly struck Zuo Yue in the abdomen.
The black figure drew an elegant arc in mid-air.
Not far away, Zuo Yue's burly body slid along the ground, smashing several stone bookshelves before finally coming to a stop.
Amidst the dust, he struggled to prop himself up, spitting a mouthful of thick, sticky blood onto the shattered stones.
The excruciating pain in his abdomen was tearing at his nerves; it was the spasm of his internal organs after being struck so hard.
He raised his hand to wipe the blood from his chin, his breathing heavy.
Uchiha family.
The family name was branded into his mind like a hot iron.
The flawless family martial arts combat left him with immense strength, but he couldn't find an outlet for it.
Uchiha Tokumitsu stood still, his right hand slowly gripping the ninja sword at his waist.
"Zzzzt—"
The blade was drawn from its sheath, emitting a crisp whistling sound.
In the firelight, the specially crafted ninja sword gleamed with a chilling, eerie light.
Since you're an enemy, then I'll use all my strength to send you on your final journey.
Uchiha Tokumitsu slightly squatted down, and the stone slab beneath his feet cracked open with fine lines due to the force.
"Ghana."
The moment those two words left his mouth, his body transformed into a twisted black shadow.
The ninja sword tore through the air.
The sharp whistling sound almost pierced the eardrums.
That was the sound of air exploding at extreme speed, carrying a resolute determination to kill.
Zuo Yue felt death approaching.
"Cough cough..."
His severely injured body could do no more.
He knew he was doomed and there was no escape.
The mission failed, most of his companions were dead, and he himself was about to perish in the cold trap of this foreign land.
But in the face of death, Zuo Yue's arrogance and fighting spirit, which belonged to the ninjas of Kumogakure, did not diminish in the slightest.
On the contrary, it was completely stimulated.
He is not willing!
He was unwilling to die in such a humiliating way.
Even if I die, I will let these bastards of Konoha see that I die standing up, and I will salvage the last bit of dignity for Kumogakure and for Lord Raikage!
"Ahhhhh—"
Zuo Yue roared, frantically channeling the last of his chakra into his right arm.
Crackle!
A blinding blue lightning bolt instantly covered his entire fist, and the violent current emitted a piercing hiss, ionizing the surrounding air and causing it to crackle.
This is the strongest, purest, and final thunder that a pure lightning-style martial artist can gather.
"Die, you bastards of Konoha!"
The next second, the ground beneath Zuo Yue's feet exploded, and he transformed into a blue afterimage, launching a desperate charge towards Uchiha Tokumitsu!
Like a bull trapped in a desperate situation, it charged towards the deadly blade.
This punch embodies his entire life and glory!
Faced with this extremely resolute aura, the three-tomoe Sharingan of Uchiha Tokumitsu clearly reflected Zuo Yue's resolute and life-burning posture.
This brute from the Hidden Cloud Village... is truly amusing.
Two figures clashed rapidly in the dimly lit stone chamber.
On the left is Uchiha Tokumitsu's cold, precise, and unwavering sword light.
On the right is Zuo Yue's ferocious, scorching thunder fist, imbued with a spirit of mutual destruction.
Both reached speeds that were too fast for the naked eye to perceive.
Nearly.
closer.
Their bodies crossed in the very center of the stone chamber.
There was no violent collision as expected.
The stalemate continues.
In that instant, time seemed to slow down.
All the noise disappeared.
Only the soft sound of a ninja sword cutting through flesh and bone.
staggered.
coincide.
separate.
They both rushed to where the other had been standing.
Then, a deathly silence fell.
Above the dome, Danzo Shimura watched this scene with an expressionless face.
In a corner not far away, Hozuki Kaigetsu, who had just forced back two Konoha ninjas with a water bullet, stared in horror at this direction.
"..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu had his back to Zuo Yue, and his body sank slightly.
With a light twist of his wrist.
The ninja sword spun rapidly at her fingertips, creating a dazzling display of skill.
Then, he forcefully flicked the blade downwards.
"Clatter".
A string of warm blood droplets was flung to the ground, forming a neat arc.
The blade regained its cold, silvery shine, without a trace of dirt.
Uchiha Tokumitsu shoved his long sword back into its sheath with a backhand motion.
Click—
The sound of the mechanism meshing was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.
at the same time.
Zuo Yue's burly body froze on the spot.
The originally raging blue lightning on his right fist, like a candle flickering in the wind, shook violently and went out completely.
His lips moved twice, as if he wanted to say something, but he only spat out a large amount of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.
Shift your gaze downwards.
On his abdomen, at the location of the Qihai acupoint, there appeared a knife wound burning with flames.
That knife was extremely vicious; it not only cut through the flesh, but the flames also burned his internal organs.
The body's strength is like fine sand slipping through fingers, rapidly disappearing.
"Oh..."
"Excellent swordsmanship..."
Zuo Yue tried to turn her head to take a look at the man's back.
But the body was already leaning forward uncontrollably.
"Bang!"
His burly body could no longer support him; his knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Finally, with a heavy thud, his entire body collapsed forward, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Blood quickly spread beneath him, staining the cold stone slabs red.
His body convulsed twice in the pool of blood before his consciousness sank rapidly into eternal darkness.
Uchiha Tokumitsu showed no sign of turning around or expressing his feelings.
For a root member like him, the respect that comes from a deadly battle is enough to be expressed in his actions.
The mission must be completely ended.
His hands were already rapidly forming hand seals in the air.
Zi, Chou, Xu, Wu, Shen, Hai, Yin.
The hand seals were formed so fast that they overlapped, creating a continuous afterimage.
The fire-attribute chakra within his body surged wildly, like magma before a volcanic eruption, rushing madly towards his throat.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
His chest cavity suddenly expanded.
Then, he suddenly vomited it out onto the body that had lost the ability to resist.
call--!!!
A flame, more concentrated and intense than ever before, swept out.
This technique differs from the wide-area coverage of the Fireball Jutsu; it concentrates all the heat and impact into a very small point.
Upon landing, the flames instantly triggered an explosive secondary combustion.
The orange-red flames completely dispelled the surrounding darkness.
The body instantly shrank and carbonized under the high temperature.
Skin, muscles, bones.
Before the Uchiha clan's most prized Fire Release technique, all living beings are equally reduced to ashes.
Thick smoke rose up.
A few seconds later, the flames went out.
Only a large area of charred marks remained on the ground.
The Cloud Shadow elites who were lying there have been completely erased from this world.
There was no body or belongings.
Even the ashes were swept up high in the stone chamber by the scorching heat wave and disappeared.
Uchiha Tokumitsu just watched, his face beneath the mask revealing no emotion.
He sheathed his ninja sword, turned around, and prepared to find his next target.
This is the root's code of conduct.
Complete the mission, erase all traces, and leave the enemy with nothing they can use, not even a corpse.
The other end of the stone chamber.
Hozuki Kaigetsu watched this scene unfold, and his heart sank to the bottom.
That Cloud Village ally, who might not be the brightest but was incredibly strong, is just... gone?
Not even a body was left.
"Left Moon!!"
A piercing cry ripped through the battlefield. A Cloud Village ninja, seeing his captain burned to ashes, turned bloodshot and charged towards Uchiha Tokumitsu without regard for anything else.
However, he had only taken two steps when several purple chakra chains burst from the ground, instantly binding him like a dumpling.
He was met with a relentless barrage of ninjutsu from several Konoha ninjas.
despair.
Utter despair.
As Hozuki Kaigetsu watched his fellow Kirigakure comrades fall one by one, as his sister remained trapped in the genjutsu, and as he gazed at Uchiha Tokumitsu's cold and ruthless figure, an unprecedented sense of powerlessness and fear overwhelmed him.
Aren't they here to seize the sealing technique?
Aren't they a surprise attack force?
Why did it turn out like this?
Why would an entire Konoha assassination squad be waiting for them here?
A thought popped into Hozuki Kaigetsu's mind.
The inside man... that shadowy figure...
From beginning to end, this was a trap! A trap tailor-made for them.
It seems that Konoha... has already noticed the commotion between the two villages!
